She didn’t mean to be sexy that moment, but even a winter nightgown couldn’t hide that lovely outline. When will I outgrow my simple-minded fascination with the form she had happened to choose for her body? Never, I thought

Morality and religion are but words to him who fishes in gutters for the means of sustaining life, and crouches behind barrels in the street for shelter from the cutting blasts of a winter night.

Moonless winter night-
a billow of rising fog

Melancholy were the sounds on a winter’s night.

Pitch-black winter nights live in my bones.

I should be glad of lonelinessВ В В В В В And hours that go on broken wings,A thirsty body, a tired heartВ В В В В В And the unchanging ache of things,If I could make a single songВ В В В В В As lovely and as full of light,As hushed and brief as a falling starВ В В В В В On a winter night.

You are about to begin reading Italo Calvino’s new novel, If on a winter’s night a traveler.

In the uncertain ebb and flow of time and emotions, much of one’s life history is etched in the senses. And things of no particular importance, or irreplaceable things, can suddenly resurface in a café one winter night.

Behold a silly tender babe,In freezing winter night,In homely manger trembling lies;Alas! a piteous sight.

You look like a winter night”, he had told her when he had given it to her. “I could sleep inside the cold of you”.

For watching sports, I tend to drink Guinness; early evenings always begin well with a Grey Goose and tonic with plenty of lime; and on a cold winters night, theres nothing quite like a glass of Black Maple Hill… an absolute peach of a bourbon.

Do not despair of life. You have no doubt force enough to overcome your obstacles. Think of the fox prowling through wood and field in a winter night for something to satisfy his hunger. Notwithstanding cold and the hounds and traps, his race survives. I do not believe any of them ever committed suicide.

Lighting one candle
from another –

You and me Haymitch.Very cozy.Picnics, birthdays, long winter nights sitting around the fire retelling old Hunger Games tale. –Peeta Mellark
